She often wore a soft, loosely fitted blouse of light cotton or silk with a high collar to accentuate her slender neck. A blouse worn with a skirt became the American woman's favorite fashion. By 1905, the Sears Roebuck catalogue offered 150 versions of this blouse, from cotton to lace and taffeta.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe high-collar, back-buttoning yoke style is still just as flattering today. This blouse is lovely over a skirt or it can be cut longer to tuck in. Instructions for optional tucks and lace insertion are included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur sewing pattern features the full-shaped front gathered into a rounded yoke, embellished in View B with clusters of tucks and lace insertion. Three-quarter length sleeves are gathered at the shoulders and into narrow cuffs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn View A, the high collar and yoke are finished with lace; in View B, rows of stitched lace replace the collar, as was the fashion. Tucks and lace insertion on the body of the blouse are optional. Instructions are given in View B for a traditional bias bound cuff. The back opening and cuffs fasten with tiny buttons or hooks and eyes; clusters of gathers at center back are held in place by narrow ties, which encircle the waist and tie in front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested fabrics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft lightweight fabrics such as batiste, lawn, muslin, silk, gingham, or calico.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEra: Edwardian, late 1800s to early 1900s\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1694\/7861\/files\/205-gibsongirl_yardage.pdf?16653493498282843498\"\u003eYardage chart (.pdf)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PDF pattern has layered files for print at home (A4 or 8.5x11), copy shop A0 and 36, and a projector file, as well as instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLEARN MORE: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.folkwear.com\/blogs\/news\/how-to-do-simple-lace-insertion?_pos=3\u0026amp;_sid=77e082798\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eHow to sew lace insertion\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.folkwear.com\/blogs\/news\/tips-for-sewing-tricky-fabrics-sheers-and-lace?_pos=6\u0026amp;_sid=77e082798\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eTips for sewing sheer fabrics and lace.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.folkwear.com\/blogs\/news\/gibson-girl-blouse-and-a-short-history?_pos=14\u0026amp;_sid=8e1e43c9c\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eThe Gibson Girl Blouse: a short story\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe also have \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/admin.shopify.com\/store\/folkwear\/collections\/276748664898\"\u003einsertion and edge lace\u003c\/a\u003e that works well for this pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.folkwear.com\/blogs\/news\/gibson-girl-blouse-with-neck-opening-how-to\"\u003eChange the back opening to a shoulder opening\u003c\/a\u003e (sewing hack)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.folkwear.com\/blogs\/news\/205-gibson-girl-blouse-resources-for-sewing\"\u003eResources for sewing the 205 Gibson Girl Blouse\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folkwear","offers":[{"title":"PDF","offer_id":46456846221511,"sku":"000230-001305","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Printed","offer_id":46456846254279,"sku":"000230-001305-Printed","price":32.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/3514\/7097\/files\/replic-205-Gibson-Girl-Blouse-rev.jpg?v=1777213032","url":"https:\/\/empiremakespace.com\/products\/205-gibson-girl-blouse","provider":"Empire Make Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
